Caudale Moor and Hartsop Dodd

Hartsop Dodd is a pig of a fell if you go straight up it from Hartsop, while parking at the Kirkstone Inn, going up onto Caudale Moor and Stoney Cove Pike and walking down onto it, is far more pleasant! 

The signed path to St Raven's Edge takes you up a short scrambly section onto the ridge - from which there are spectacular views all around and the path along the wall is clearly visible. Fix the Fells have done an excellent job of placing stepping stones across any boggy bits.

The last distant snows on the shaded side of Helvellyn.

Following the wall you find yourself at Stony Cove Pike which is 1metre higher than Caudale Moor itself. We came back via Caudale Moor summit which is easier to see from the path coming back.

Splendid views across to Fairfield.

Looking down to Hartsop Dodd - a lovely ridge.

And as the day began to cool off...Caudale Moor summit.
